This important and informative book gives important clues to help better identify the different shades of depressive and bipolar disorders along the spectrum model.  Great for Bipolar II patients.  It guides people towards practical steps for treatment and offers a lot of the latest updated research and treatment paradigms for these patients.  It includes some great chapters with up to date reviews of medications, natural and lifestyle approaches, as well as useful tips for living more effectively with mood problems in relationships and at work.  Many of my patients who sit lower on the Bipolar II spectrum are really finding this book highly valuable and relevant. I highly recommend it.
